Nostalgia on the Menu

As part of its anniversary celebration, Boost Juice has brought back popular throwback smoothies like Tropic Chill, Mango Magic and Banana Buzz through its app-exclusive “Big Time Favourites” menu. The limited-time flavours rotate weekly, inviting fans to revisit classics that helped grow Boost from a small Adelaide shop into a national brand. 

On 23 July, a fun nationwide promo offered free drinks to anyone named Janine or Barry, paying tribute to founder Janine Allis and mascot Barry. The campaign aims to boost engagement while celebrating Boost’s playful identity and loyal community.

Giving Back to Loyal Customers

Each day, one winner receives $572 in store credit, about a Boost a week for a year. A total of 25 winners will be announced on the brand’s website throughout the month. The competition, open nationwide with any qualifying purchase, is Boost’s way of thanking loyal customers for 25 years of support.

Celebrating in Style

To celebrate its anniversary, Boost Juice has released limited-edition merchandise including caps, reusable totes and mini cup keyrings, available online from 18 July for a short time. The colourful collection complements the vibrant Bondi Beach event, which is free and open to the public.

Bondi Community Welcomes Sunrise Party

The energy at Bondi Beach rose before the sun as residents and visitors made their way to Lamrock Café for a unique pop-up breakfast event. The celebration, hosted in partnership with Australian Avocados, brought people from all walks of life together for a morning of music and health-focused fun on Sydney’s most iconic shoreline. 

The event’s focus was on connection, wellness and a shared love for avocado, with organisers stating that Australians are increasingly choosing healthy morning rituals over traditional late-night parties.

Avo Toast, DJ Beats and Local Flair

From the start of the event, DJ Mistah Cee set the tone with upbeat remixes, turning the usually calm morning air into a vibrant dance floor. Attendees enjoyed complimentary avocado toast canapés, with organisers sharing their excitement to offer Sydneysiders a taste of fresh Australian produce.

Those keen to show off their dance moves were also in for a treat, with limited edition “Avo Breakfast Rave Six Packs” and themed jumpers handed out as giveaways to the most enthusiastic participants.

Wellness and Community at the Centre

As the crowd danced with the sunrise, event organisers highlighted the growing trend toward wellness-focused activities. The breakfast rave was designed to promote healthier ways to connect as a community, encouraging locals to swap hangovers for early starts and active mornings. Many participants said they appreciated the chance to come together in a positive, alcohol-free environment, surrounded by Bondi’s coastal beauty.

Permanent Memorial Proposed for Westfield Bondi Stabbing Victims

A permanent memorial is being planned to honour the six lives lost in the Bondi Junction Westfield stabbing tragedy, with Waverley Council leading discussions to create a space for reflection and healing in the heart of the community.

A Space for Reflection, Not Just a Tribute

The attack on 13 April 2024, left six people dead and several injured in a stabbing at Westfield Bondi Junction, prompting an outpouring of grief across Sydney. Since then, flowers and tributes have filled public spaces like Oxford Street Mall and Bondi Beach. One year later, these spontaneous gestures are helping shape a permanent memorial led by Waverley Council.

Rather than a stark monument, early ideas focus on a garden-like setting with curved paths and soft landscaping to encourage reflection and rest. Inspired by the pressed flowers from anniversary displays, the design aims to feel gentle and intimate, a space for quiet remembrance and emotional healing.

Choosing the Right Artist and Approach

Instead of holding a public competition, council members preferred to invite a select group of artists, ideally an Australian woman, given that five of the six victims were women. The Arts, Culture and Creativity Advisory Committee emphasised the need for a careful, unrushed process.

They stressed that both the victims’ families and the broader community should be consulted. Across all discussions, there was strong agreement that the memorial must centre on care, mental wellbeing and a deep sense of local relevance.

Memorial to Fit Within the Broader Bondi Vision

The permanent memorial’s location is still undecided but will align with the broader Bondi Junction masterplan. Council is working with groups including Waverley Council, Scentre Group, and the local community to find the right site.

Officials say the space must feel peaceful and accessible without disrupting the area. Oxford Street Mall, already a site of tributes and vigils, is a strong contender, though final decisions are still underway.

Government and Community Support Remain Strong

The NSW Government, Waverley Council and other partners marked the one-year anniversary in April 2025 with public tributes, including photos and messages from the 2024 Bondi Beach vigil. These displays were a step toward acknowledging collective grief and supporting the community.

Planning for the permanent memorial continues alongside ongoing mental health and victim support services. Authorities have reaffirmed their commitment to honouring the victims through thoughtful action and lasting care.

Council’s Equipment Removal Divides Bondi Beach Fitness Community

A heated debate has erupted in Bondi after Waverley Council’s decision to remove equipment from the popular beachside fitness station has left regular users frustrated and divided the community over who should have access to public fitness spaces.

Read: Surf Lifesavers from Bondi Beach Receive National Medals

The weights and dumbbells were removed from the Bondi Park Fitness Station in March following complaints about public safety risks and concerns that the outdoor gym had become dominated by male users, creating an unwelcoming environment for women and other community members.

Council documentation revealed that safety concerns included potential trip hazards from equipment left on the ground and items being stored inappropriately around the fitness station. The removal was also part of broader efforts to “rein in commercial operators” from using the area.

Regular user Joey Pamment expressed bewilderment at the council’s approach, questioning how an outdoor gym could function without proper equipment. He emphasised the community spirit that developed when people of different backgrounds trained together at the free public facility.

Another longtime user, Louise Brandon, countered claims about gender exclusivity, noting that people of varying ages and genders had regularly used the weights, which had encouraged her own participation in the space.

However, not everyone shared this view. Bondi-based fitness trainer Vix Erber argued that the outdoor gym had developed a culture that discouraged many potential users, particularly women and older residents, from feeling comfortable exercising there.

The controversy has highlighted broader tensions about how public fitness spaces should operate and who they truly serve. While some users celebrated the inclusive, community atmosphere they experienced, others described feeling excluded by what they saw as an intimidating environment.

Council confirmed they are developing plans to allow weights to return to the site, but with new conditions including limits on equipment numbers and stricter rules about placement and storage.

Waverley Mayor Will Nemesh indicated the new conditions aim to strike a balance between accommodating regular fitness enthusiasts and addressing concerns raised by the broader community.

The debate comes as neighbouring Randwick Council moves ahead with outdoor fitness investments. Randwick has existing outdoor gym facilities at Maroubra Beach and is planning upgrades to equipment and layout following community consultation.

Read: Initium Eyes Luxury Apartments Project in Bondi Beach

The Bondi fitness station controversy reflects wider conversations happening across Sydney’s coastal councils about balancing public access to recreational facilities with community safety and inclusivity concerns. The outcome may influence how other councils approach similar facilities in their areas.

For now, regular users of the Bondi Park Fitness Station continue exercising with the remaining fixed equipment, while waiting to see what conditions will apply when the free weights eventually return to Australia’s most famous beachside workout spot.

Major Property Deal Near Bondi Beach

A property fund manager is seeking to acquire a combined 1800-square-metre site along Hall Street in Bondi Beach, involving several adjacent shopfronts. The site is positioned just metres from Campbell Parade, a key route parallel to the beachfront.

Background and Site Details

The proposed amalgamation includes properties currently occupied by Australia Post, Anglicare, Uturn, a backpackers hostel, and a hardware store. It is regarded as one of the largest private site consolidations in the suburb’s history. The current landowners opted to collectively market their properties in response to recent changes in planning policy that support higher-density developments.

Capital Raising and Development Plans

The site is being targeted by Initium Capital, which has launched a fund seeking $29 million in equity to finalise the acquisition by the end of July 2025. The fund is forecasting a 25 per cent annual return. Initium plans to transform the area into a four-storey residential complex with boutique retail space at street level.

As part of its development approach, Initium intends to apply the state’s housing density bonus scheme, which provides height and floor space incentives in return for dedicating part of the project to affordable housing.

Gentrification and Urban Renewal

This move comes amid a wider push for urban renewal in Bondi Beach. The NSW government and Waverley Council have both flagged Hall Street—particularly the section between O’Brien Street and Campbell Parade—as a strategic corridor for redevelopment. A nearby example includes a 17-unit project at 45 Hall Street, where the penthouse sold for $22 million in 2024.

The Waverley Council area, which includes Bondi Beach, is expected to deliver 2400 new homes by 2029 under the state’s housing targets.

Next Steps

The acquisition is expected to close by the end of the month, pending successful capital raising. If finalised, the development will add to the ongoing transformation of the Bondi Beach precinct through medium-rise, high-end housing and mixed-use projects.

Bondi Hardware Hit with Winding-Up Order as ATO Pursues Unpaid Taxes

The closure of beloved Bondi watering hole Bondi Hardware has taken a troubling turn, with court documents revealing the venue owes nearly half a million dollars in unpaid taxes to the Australian Taxation Office.

Read: Local Restaurant Guide – 2026

The Hall Street establishment, which served the eastern suburbs community for more than a decade, shut its doors in January after announcing on social media that mounting financial pressures had made continuing operations impossible. However, the venue’s troubles have continued well beyond its final service.

Federal Court records show the Deputy Commissioner of Taxation successfully obtained winding-up orders against the company, with the ATO pursuing debts totalling $472,478. A liquidator was appointed by the court on 27 June, though meetings with company representatives are yet to commence.

The revelation comes nearly seven months after Bondi Hardware ceased trading, having operated as a local institution since opening in what was formerly an actual hardware store. The venue had transformed from a place that once served local tradesman and DIY enthusiasts into a popular bar and restaurant, becoming a regular haunt for after-work drinks and social gatherings in the eastern suburbs.

When the venue announced its closure in January, management cited the familiar challenges facing hospitality businesses across Australia. In their social media farewell, they pointed to the lingering effects of COVID-19, escalating living costs, and sharp increases in the price of alcohol, food, utilities and rent as factors that ultimately proved insurmountable.

A spokesperson for the venue confirmed this week that the ATO’s pursuit of outstanding taxes played a significant role in the closure decision. However, they also highlighted another crucial factor that potential buyers found prohibitive: an inflexible demolition clause written into the commercial lease.

According to the spokesperson, whilst several parties expressed interest in taking over the business, brand name and prime location, the rigid terms of the lease agreement ultimately deterred investors. The demolition clause, which could not be modified or moved, was deemed too risky for those considering acquisition of the venue.

The closure of Bondi Hardware reflects broader challenges facing the hospitality sector, particularly in high-rent areas like Bondi Beach. The spokesperson noted that along with several other recently shuttered businesses in the area, Bondi Hardware no longer serves the local community that once relied on it as a regular meeting place.

For locals who frequented the venue over its 12-year run, the news of the tax debt and court-ordered liquidation adds another layer of disappointment to what was already described by the owners as a “difficult and devastating decision.”

The appointment of a liquidator typically marks the beginning of a process to recover debts owed to creditors, with the ATO often taking priority in such proceedings. The ultimate outcome for the venue’s assets and any remaining obligations to suppliers, staff, or other creditors will likely become clearer once the liquidator completes their assessment of the company’s financial position.

Loved the service and ambiance and most of the food 🙂 Half of the dishes we loved (pork and parfait), and half were bland (beet starter and mushroom pasta main).

Humpback Whales Spotted Off Bondi Beach During Annual Migration

Whales have been sighted off Bondi Beach as the annual humpback migration along the New South Wales coastline reaches its peak. This draws attention from locals and visitors.

Whale Movements Visible Off Bondi Beach

Whale watchers in Sydney have reported humpback whale activity off Bondi Beach. Several sightings have been reported as part of the annual migration north. The activity forms part of a larger migratory pattern that sees tens of thousands of whales pass the New South Wales coastline each year.

Annual Migration Reaches Peak

Each year between May and November, an estimated 40,000 humpback whales travel from Antarctic waters towards warmer northern seas. Many are passing close to Bondi Beach and Sydney Harbour. The seasonal movement spans roughly 10,000 kilometres. It is one of the longest mammal migrations on Earth.

The northern migration phase typically peaks in June as the whales seek out breeding grounds along the Coral Coast.

Whale Watching and Observation

Bondi Beach is one of several vantage points from which the public can view the migration. This season, sightings include humpbacks breaching and surfacing in view of the coastline and tour boats. Whales have also been reported during commercial whale tours operating near Sydney Harbour, breaching in view of the boats.

Wildlife photographers have also taken advantage of the sightings, capturing images during boat-based tours off the Bondi coast. One photographer described the continued thrill of observing the animals even after years of experience documenting marine wildlife in the area.

Conservation and Safety Measures

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service has reminded the public to follow whale-watching safety regulations. Watercraft, including boats and surf craft, must maintain a minimum distance of 100 metres from the whales, or 300 metres if using a jetski or if calves are present. Drones are also subject to distance requirements.

The agency also operates a Large Whale Disentanglement Team. They respond to cases where whales become trapped in fishing gear or marine debris. The team, supported by the NSW Marine Estate Management Strategy, cooperates with academic and conservation organisations to address entanglement risks and monitor migration patterns.

Environmental Awareness

Bondi Beach and nearby coastal points remain popular observation areas during whale season. Authorities have highlighted the importance of responsible wildlife viewing. This is to ensure the safety of both marine mammals and observers.

The draw, held on Thursday 12 June, had just one division one winning entry across the entire country, and it came from that single shop in Bondi. That means someone walking through those doors last week unknowingly became one of the biggest prize-winners in Australian history.

Adding to the suspense, the winning ticket wasn’t registered, which means there’s no way to notify the winner. Lottery officials are relying on media coverage and public awareness to reach the lucky individual. In the meantime, excitement and curiosity continue to build among locals.

Residents and visitors who bought tickets in the Bondi Junction outlet are now being urged to double-check their entries — whether they’re stuffed in a purse, tucked into a pocket, or pinned to a fridge. It could be the difference between everyday life and instant financial freedom.

The winning ticket was purchased at Shop 2, 191 – 195 Oxford Street, Bondi Junction — a humble store now at the centre of national headlines.
